Union GH-325 Kona derailleur hanger

UNION GH-325 Derailleur Hanger for Kona Bicycles

Restore your bike´s performance and protect your frame with the UNION GH-325 derailleur hanger, a crucial spare part for a wide range of Kona mountain bikes. A bent or broken derailleur hanger can ruin a ride, causing poor shifting, chain drops, and potentially catastrophic damage to your frame and drivetrain. The GH-325 is the precision-engineered solution to get you back on the trail with confidence, ensuring your transmission operates with the crispness and reliability you expect. Designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment, this hanger is your first line of defense against impacts and drivetrain stress.

Don´t let a minor mechanical issue sideline you. Swapping a damaged hanger is a quick and straightforward repair that can save you from a much more expensive and complicated frame repair. The UNION GH-325 is manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure perfect alignment between your derailleur and cassette, which is the key to flawless gear changes under load. By absorbing the force of an impact, this essential component is designed to be the sacrificial link, breaking away to preserve the integrity of your bike´s dropout. Keep one in your toolbox or travel kit as an essential spare to ensure you never miss a day of riding.

Key Benefits

* Safeguard Your Investment: Acts as the primary point of failure to protect your expensive bicycle frame from permanent damage during a crash or impact to the rear derailleur.

* Get Back on the Trail Fast: Installation is simple and quick, allowing you to perform the repair yourself with basic tools and minimize your bike´s downtime.

Main Features

Toecaps

The derailleur hanger functions as the critical interface at the frame´s rear dropout, the end point or "toecap" of the frame´s chainstay and seatstay. This UNION GH-325 hanger is meticulously shaped to mount perfectly onto the specific dropout design of compatible Kona frames. Its primary role in this position is to provide a secure mounting point for the rear derailleur while being intentionally designed to yield under excessive force. This sacrificial engineering ensures that the energy from an impact is absorbed by the replaceable hanger, rather than being transferred to the integrated frame dropout, which is far more difficult and costly to repair or replace.
